4 MOST REMARKABLE CASE OF scRoFULA
AND RHEUMATISM.
have little boy twelve years old
whose knees have been drawn almost
double and his joints are perfectly stiff, tiff
and he has been in this condition three
years, unable to walk. During that time
the medical board Of London county ex-
amined him and pronounced the disease
scrofula and prescribed, but no benefit
ever derived. I then used a much ad-
vertised preparation without benefit.
Three weeks ago he became perfectly
helpless and suffered dreadfully.
A friend who had used 8. 3. B. ad-
vised its use. He has used one bottle
and all pain has ceased and he can now
walk. This has been a most wonderful
action, as his complaint had batfied
everything. I shall continue to useit on
him. Mrs. EMMA GRIFFIrHs.

Having tested B. B. B. and found it to
be all that is claimed for it, I commend
it to any and every one suffering from
blood poison. It has done me more
good for less money and in shorter
space Of time than any blood purifier 1
ever used. I owe the comfort of my
life to its use, for I have been troubled
with severe form of blood poison for 5
or 6 years and found no relief equal to
that given by the use of B. B. B.

sore financial distress at the time
Of his death, being fifty thousand

1t is time for both the white and
colored citizens of the sunny South

said, however, that there are a few
colored men, who, blinded to all
that is righteous either in person
or politics, have not. fully realized
as yet which party is their friend,

him with being the father of her
illegitimate child, which was born

made every effort to compromise
the matter, but his efforts proved
futile, as the gentle maiden would
not agree to anything other than
the planking down of hard cash to
the amount of $25OO0, hence Mr..
Miner was bound over to court by
